t5topcat Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi all After a few trips in our (to us) new van the OH has complained of the seatbelt cutting in to her shoulder. Rather than get her a booster seat :-D does anyone know of any devices that would help? Bearing in mind that the belt is fixed to the seat only. Thanks Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi Colin, How about slipping a 'Seat Belt Pad' over the offending area... Link to Halfords Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Try Googlin' "seatbelt tension adjuster" and "seatbelt strap cover".. ..perhaps using one/both of those, would help ease things.... (Ah!..I see Keith was quicker off the mark.... (lol) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flicka Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi t5topcat Your link is for a product from the USA. It would be wise ti check it has "Type approval" for UK use Years ago my wife had a same problem in a Bedford CF van. At that time I was able to find a "dropper plate" which fitted between the Seat belt anchor point & the seat belt mounting plate. This dropped the seat belt approx 2.5" but despite extensive search on t'net, I can't source any. My guess is that "Type Approval" has caused their demise. This link (for BMW) but should be available for other vehicle, fits on the seat itself, mounted by the headrest positioners & may be (IMHO) a better option. http://www.amazon.co.uk/BMW-Genuine-Right-Headrest-Holders/dp/B004L1X0E2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
